I applied for special adaptive housing grant in April. I was denied in May. The grant is given to those who need modifications made to their homes in order to make life less difficult for those with physical or mental disabilities due to service connected disabilities. A lot of you know my story but for those who don't, I was injured in Iraq in 05. The major injuries were to my face and left side which caused me to lose my arm at the shoulder, lose my nose which created ongoing sinus issues and needed 7 surgeries to reconstruct. I also became totally blind in my left eye and I still suffer nerve damage which can get so bad, I can't walk too long. Overall, I'm messed up pretty bad. I just want to know if anyone had applied for or recieved this grant, and if you have knowledge on the process, why do I not qualify? The VA Rep who I talked to said that I needed to be missing more than an arm. I was shocked. It's difficult to do things but I get them done. I just find it crazy that I can't get help with simple things like a hand rails to keep me from busting my butt when I get out if the shower, or lower cabinets so I can reach dishes without having to balance myself to keep from falling. Any info helps
